Is there a prefered linux distro when dealing with the most up to date
and
current jruby system? I am just getting into jruby on windows and i
would
like to see what distro would fit me best to continue my development
into
linux.

Thanks,

Most will do. I like Ubuntu. Just use rvm to manage your rubies.

Cheers,

James

My workmate Sergio Rubio maintains JRuby stable packages for Ubuntu and
Centos:

There’s no need for a package, simply untar the compressed file and
that’s all.

Just get one that has a well supported JVM. There’s very little you need
to install JRuby other than that, then just untar the latest stable
and you’re away.
